Patented. April 10, 1906.

. I To (ZZZ whom it may poncern:

Be it known that we, OANFrELn J. Rous- SEAU, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, and ELMER G. Renew, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Stamford, county of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Oil Engines, of which the fo owing is a tan in its.hidden position within the bedcasting.

We have invented an improved construction of oil-tank and. bed-casting which permite the tank to be easily refilled.

The preferredfor m of apparatus embodying our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, inwhich the figure is a detail view, partly brokenaway and partly in section, showing our improved form of tank.

0 Throughout the drawing like referencefigures indicate like parts. I

-represents the base or bed-casting of an engine, which is provided with a door 58, through which the oil-tank may be originaliy introduced. In this door or in some other ,convenient portion of the wall of the casting is formed a projecting portion 41, which formsa pocket, open at the top, conveniently closed by a cover 42. This cover is preferably held in place by the flange 43, overlapping its inner edge, and the ribs 44 on its under surface. 46 is a spout formed on the oil-tank '45, projecting intothis pocket, formed, as above described, under the cover 42. The operation of our invent-ion is clear from the foregoing description. In order to fill thetank, it is only necessary to lift up the cover and pour the oil into the spout 46 without removing the tank or otherwise dismantling the engine-bed.

The advantages of our invention comprise the convenience and saving of time in filling the oil-tank and avoidance of all danger of spillingoil or injuring the tank in handling same.

It is evident that various changes could be made in the details of construction, illustrated in the drawing, without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention so long as the principles of construction and operation above set forth are retained.

Having therefore described our invention, we claim- 1. The combination with the casting forming an engine-bed, ofa projecting portion thereon, a removable cover therefor and an oil-tank adapted to be placed inside of said casting and providedwith a projecting s out extending into the projecting portion 0 the casting.

2. The combination with the hollow casting formin an engine-bed of a door 'in the side thereo a projectin portion thereon, a removable cover for sai f projecting portion, and an oil-tank adapted to be introduced into the hollow casting through said door and provided with a projecting s out extending into the projecting portion 0 the door when said door is in closed position.

7 3. The combination with the casting forma ing an engine-bed, of a projecting portion thereon, a removable cov'er therefor and an oil-tank adapted to be placed inside of said castin and provided with a projecting spout extending into the projecting portion of the casting, said cover being providedwvith ribs on its under side engaging the upper edge of the projecting portion of the casting Signed at New York, N. Y., this 28th day of February, 1905.
